SFX J-Term Day 1 Blog

 Today was the first day of our J-Term, SFX makeup. We did alot of introductions on what our tools were and how to use them, as well as some videos. We started in the morning by learning simple makeup, and did a full face of makeup. Some people knew how already, so they got a partner and did it on them. After lunch, we watched some videos on age makeup, and then started on our own faces. The goal for this was to either make yourself look like you were middle-aged or older.

 Content warning: fake gore  Today was the last day of the first week of the SFX makeup term! In the morning, we started by building on and creating more advanced looks from the skills that the amazing Sophia O’Heron taught us yesterday afternoon. Each person created their own unique gore makeup design with an intention and a story behind their look. We used tools such as scar wax, liquid latex, and more to execute our makeup .  In the afternoon, we moved from gore-based looks to fantasy-based makeup. We had interesting looks such as a porcelain doll, zombie, ghost, Frankenstein's monster, fairy, vampire, celestial being, video game character and cheetah.        While doing our makeup, we enjoyed watching episodes of Star Trek to pass the time. We had a lot of fun this day and make sure to tune in again to our blog next week!

For the scars, we used liquid latex with cotton and spirit gum with wax. Photos for character makeup: ’ Explanation for character makeup: Our assignment was to pick a character to recreate.
